Understanding Canadian Immigration: Facts, Factors, and Types of Immigrants

Canada, with 98% of its population being immigrants or their descendants, is a vibrant multicultural society often referred to as a "tossed salad." This contrasts with the "melting pot" concept seen in the U.S. Immigration operates through various push and pull factors such as economic opportunities and political stability. Canada accepts three main types of immigrants: Independent Immigrants (skilled workers), Family Immigrants (for family reunification), and Refugees (seeking asylum). Each category has specific criteria to ensure a fair immigration process while supporting a diverse community.
